Wedding at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club: Kelly and Chris

Kelly and Chris had a beautiful summer wedding at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  Kim of The Perfect Settings was the coordinator and florist and helped to put together the details that made the day gorgeous.  The videographers were Kyle and Kimberly of Gator Bride Videography.  At the ceremony Robert Hoffman from A Perfect Witness was the officiant and the ceremony music was played by Kathleen of Elegant Piano Inspirations.  The DJ at the reception was Jim from Black Tie DJs and the wedding cake was made by Pastries by Design.

I love the bridesmaids’ gowns from this wedding!  They were bright and fun with their ruffled necklines.  Kelly looked amazing in her Sottero and Midgley gown and Badgley Mischka heels.  Chris wore a gray vest and patterned gray tie while the other guys wore solid gray vests and ties.  The ceremony aisle was lined with petals leading to an arch of twisted wood branches draped in fabric and decorated with bunches of flowers.  More flowers hung in glass vases from shepherd hooks down the aisle.  After the ceremony Kelly and Chris had fun props for their pictures such as “And they lived happily ever after” signs for the wedding party to hold and a burlap “Mr. and Mrs.” pendant banner.  At the reception tall glass vases were decorated with draped crystals and topped with floral arrangements.  Guests filled out wedding mad libs and signed bottles of wine for Kelly and Chris’s special anniversaries.  Jason took Kelly and Chris out for a few quick night pictures during the reception and the fire pictures that he took were some of my favorite from the day.

The colors and details from this wedding came together so well.  It created a day of playful elegance.  Congratulations to Kelly and Chris!  Thanks for including us in such a terrific and special day!

Jessica and Randy’s Wedding at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club

Jason had a great time with Jessica and Randy during their engagement session.  They showed their fun personalities and their love for each other at the same time.  Seeing them together, Jason knew their wedding was going to be an amazing day!

The couple was married at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church with a reception following at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  Jessica had her hair and makeup done by stylists from The Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group.  The wedding colors were green and purple and the bouquets in those colors by Yelena of Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio were beautiful.  At the reception the DJ was Mark of Jersey Sound and Entertainment and favors were made by The Lollicake Queen.

Jason loved that Jessica and Randy were introduced at their reception to the Metallica song, “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”  I love unique touches like that.  As the reception was ending Jason took the couple outside for some pictures by the fire and these are some of my favorite bride and groom pictures from their wedding day!

When a couple can be themselves, let go, and really enjoy their wedding day for the celebration that it is, everyone around them can’t help but feel their love and joy too.  Jessica and Randy, thank you for having Jason there to share in the fun!

  

Wedding at Lakewood Ranch Country Club: Jackie and Brett

Dad photographed Jackie and Brett’s engagement session on a cold morning in January and it was sweet to see them holding hands and snuggling through the session.  Their wedding was a few weeks ago at Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  Jackie had her hair and makeup done by the always awesome Cari from Kyle Lynn Weddings.  The wedding color was a deep blue with accents of bright pinks, oranges, and greens.  The bouquets and floral arrangements from I Do Bouquets and Weddings were so fun and festive!

After the couple’s first sight and bride and groom pictures, the ceremony was held on the lawn with Bob Hoffman from A Perfect Witness as the officiant.  The reception was decorated with linens in that beautiful deep blue color, the bright and fun floral centerpieces, and pretty silver chairs.  The DJ was from Black Tie DJs and the wedding cake was made by Pastries by Design.

Congratulations Jackie and Brett!  We wish you a long and happy life as husband and wife!

Elizabeth and Marshall’s Wedding at the Lakewood Ranch Country Club

Jimmy Choos, Vera Wang, a beautiful country club, and a gorgeous couple come together to make an amazing wedding!  Liz and Marshall came down from New York, New York to be married the week before Christmas at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  It is such a picturesque location and the Christmas decorations they had made it even prettier.  Dad had photographed the wedding of Emily and Steve years ago and it was wonderful seeing them as guests at this wedding as well.  It seems as if it wasn’t very long ago that dad was photographing their newborn son peeing on them and now he is almost two:). Dad also got to see Shane who was married here back in October.  Tell Nicole “hi” for us!

The band at the reception was one of the best dad has heard at a wedding.  They are called Powerhouse, led by Alan James.  If you are thinking about live music at your wedding, check them out!

Liz and Marshall both looked stunning.  They did a great job with the details and put together an awesome wedding.  It was wonderful to see how much love they have for one another.  Their entire day seemed to be filled with the excitement of what is ahead for them.  Thanks for having dad share in your day, and congratulations newlyweds!  You are going to have such a fun honeymoon!  First Colorado for some snow, then Mexico for some sun!

Awww, Emily and Steve, still very much in love:

The cake was from Publix:

One of dad’s favorites from the day was by the fire pit at night:

Nicole and Shane’s wedding at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club

Sunday was Nicole and Shane’s wedding day!  Their ceremony was held at The Lake Club in Lakewood Ranch and the reception was at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club.  Both are beautiful locations.  Dad said that everyone at the wedding was really nice and he enjoyed celebrating with all of them.  The guests had so much fun and the party went on well past midnight!  Nicole and Shane are wonderful together and have lots of happiness to look forward to in their future.  Congratulations newlyweds, and thanks for having dad there to share in your day!
